The Forest Fires in Kansas.

ATCHIsoN, KAs., April 12.-No
less than fifteen persons have been
burned to death by the prairie fires
which, starting near Nicodemus,
Graham county, have swept north
west ON AL air line into Norton
county.
The fire has destroyed everything
on path that is in places from two
and half to seven miles wide-a
great, roaring sea of flame, rooling in
tremendous sheets under the impet-
US of the high wind which prevailed
all day Saturday and night.
Starting on the South Fork of the
Solomon river, in Graham county,
the fire swept north to the North
Fork, where it crossed at Edmond, a
station on the Central Branch Rail-
road in Norton county in the direc-
ton of Decatur, the adjoining county
on the west, carrying destruction and
death in its path.
Thousands of head of stock of all
kinds have been burned. and thous-
ands of tons of hay, corn and wheat
md from 100 to 175 houses and barns
have been destroyed. The people
living along the line of the fire have
been left homeless and destitute.
1t is Impossible as yet to learn the
names of those who persisted in the
flames. Tremendous excitement pre-
walls all through the burnt district,
which extends a distance of over
slzry miles in length by two and a
half to seven in width, with the fire
still spreading west and northWes {.
The fire is still raging furiously,
and along its path are terror stricken.
The destruction to the telegraph
poles and wires between Greenlief
and Edmond prevents the obtaining
of further details. Relief will be for
Warded at once from towns east of
the fire line.
1t is definitely known that from
Is to 16 lives were lost in the two
counties, but the names haye not
been learned. -Four children per-
ished in one family. At the same
time another fire swept down the
South Fork of Solomon to poin
near Millbrook, sweeping everything
in its path, burning six persons to
death, father. mother and four chill
dren. and large number of cattle,
horses, hogs and poultry. In one in

The Tar get Match.

The long-talked of and excitiag
rifle match took place at Oakland
Saturday, and the "Haymakt rs"
were the winners. The day was
beautiful. but still not a good one for
fine shooting, as the wind blew with
such variations across the range that
it was very hard to guage. Still,
some excellent shooting was done,
and neither team need feel ashamed
of their work. A large number of
ladies and gentlemen visited the
range during the day, and when
three and four "bull-eyes" were
made in succession at the long ranges,
the shooters received much applause.
The shooting began at 1915 A. NJ,
and lasted without intermission until
Up. NJ. The ranges were four in
number. The"Easter Flower" shoot
ing at 200, 300, 400 and 500 yards.
The Haymakers at 300, 400, 500 and
800 yards. The targets were U. S.
Regulation, having an inch bull
eye at 200 and 800 yards and an 49,
inch bull-eye at 400, 500 and 600
yards. The Easter Flowers were
first at the score and fired in the fol-
lowing order;

Farm and Garden Notes.

Leave plenty of potato to your pO-
tato-eye if you want strong plants.
Scatter some of the finest, richest
and best manure you haYe on the
piece of ground intended for your
onions.
Whenever the wheat fields and pas
tnres are thrown up by the frost it is
best to run roller over the crop.
When the pigs are coughing 1t in
dictates not only damp yards, but al
so that the roof or shelter leaks.
1t has been suggested that farm
horses be sold by weight, in addition
to other qualities, so as to induce
farmers to raise larger and better
horses.
Even two or three feeds of cooked
turnips or potatoes each week is bet
ter than to omit such food altogether.
1t is variety that promotes health
and keeps the stock in good condi-
ton.
Sudden changes of the weather
cause disease among fowls much
sooner than long continued cold or
warm weather. Roup, a very con-
tagous disease, is usually due to
dampness.
Carriages and farm wagons might
be made to last twice as long if only
a few moments were spent each week
during dry weather in tightening up
the bolts that hold the wagon to-
gether.
Whenever it is noticed that the
hogs eat gravel it is sign that some
thing they need is lacking. a few
pieces Of coal or charcoal will prob.
ably be cure, while the food should

"AlWayS speak the truth" is a

when we briefly replied to his article
on "Prohibition in Elkins," we only
spoke the sentiments of the better cit

ply would say that those who don't
know him will observe that his article

is. 1t is only combination o." slang
